Cats are notorious for climbing Christmas trees. Growing up we had many cats any my Mom tied the Christmas Tree to the wall using a jump rope and a hook screwed into a beam in the wall.to keep it from falling over when the cats went on their adventure in a near-naked tree.
If you are handy with woodworking or have a family member or friend that is, the above cat tree would be a great alternative, provided the ornaments are plastic and tied on securely.
If not, Catster has a post on an Easy DIY Cat Friendly Christmas Tree alternative using a shelf from IKEA.
Another alternative if you have the wall space would be to create the look of a Christmas Tree with garland or tinsel, but high enough up to deter kitty from trying to get at it.
